And now the pubbies are paying Bristol Palin $250,000 a year to preach abstinence to young people. I wish I could have gotten a job like that when I was her age — and get to fuck away to my heart’s content in the bargain.

As another example of Republican laziness and oversized sense of entitlement, I had to laugh when I heard this story about the group of GOP House freshmen whining to president Obama to do the right thing, move to the right, and stop picking on them for voting for the Medicare-killing Ryan budget:

In a fascinating attempt to gain the political high ground, freshmen House Republicans have asked President Obama, and by extension, his fellow Democrats, to stop using what the GOP members call Medicare scare tactics to try and gain political advantage.

The plea for civility comes after Obama and other Democrats have pounded House Republicans for supporting a GOP 2012 budget proposal that would privatize the Medicare program for future seniors, forcing anyone under 55 to buy health coverage from private insurers when they become eligible for the benefit.

Civility, gawd. Imagine the deserved mockery if Democrats ever called for Republicans to stop attacking them on the issues.

And worth remembering again how Republicans wrapped themselves in Medicare to argue against healthcare reform. The hypocrisy is again breathtaking.

Her new thing is a reality TV show contract for next season, so she’s moving to LA. She and her kid will share a house with a couple of guys. And with the help of some surgery, she’s sporting a new look.

If a child of President Obama was doing such things the moral outrage from the right would be deafening. But this is Palin’s kid, so our wingnut morality cops are silent.

# 9: I’m curious. Assuming that any given Republican can get through the primary (yea, I know, that’s a pretty broad hypothetical), what Republican really stands a chance at Giving Obama a run for his money?

Puddy commentary… It’s okay to sling racist arrows at conservatives and tea party members but libbies will turn a blind eye to racists in their camp. So now the whitey house jock straps peeps who don’t like interracial marriages. Glad I married a woman much darker than me.

What Roger Dumb Rabbit won’t tell you are the demographics of those people who IGNORED the abstinence programs…

1) Black Women 2) Hispanic Women 3) Poor Women

are more likely to have unwanted pregnancies than the average American under that program. Don’t trust Puddy? Look it up at the CDC. These are people who probably didn’t vote for GWBush. You see, Puddy always checks on the Roger Dumb Rabbit generalizations because you, the ignorant leftist pinhead, eat up his rabbit droppings without checking their veracity or truthfulness.

So who are these people? More than likely these are the ones who didn’t vote for GWBush, and what’s ironic about Roger Dumb Rabbits’ commentary, it may be Bush’s ignored policies could produce a baby DUMMOCRAPTS in da future!

@11: The problem is that it’s not pointed out often enough. The controlling memes in the beltway press give us this sort of FakeTedVanDyke political coverage, in which Democrats can’t cave quickly enough, and no absurdity from the far right doesn’t deserve full and due consideration.

It’s made Republicans lazy, privileged, so that they can made these kinds of suggestions in public without embarrassment.

… the Republican-run paradise of Arizona, where only 80,000 of the state’s 316,000 unemployed workers get any unemployment benefits — and the few who do get the fourth-lowest benefits in the country. Why the hell would any working family ever want to live in Arizona?

“So who are these people? More than likely these are the ones who didn’t vote for GWBushX group of people failed to vote for Candidate GW Bush.

GW Bush wins and institutes ludicrously ineffectual policies. X group of people are diproportionally harmed by ludicrously innefectual policies.

In conclusion, it’s X group of peoples fault for failing to vote for GW Bush.

“it may be Bush’s ignored policies could produce a baby DUMMOCRAPTS in da future!”

Maybe, but turning over that logical rock and guess what climbs out. If GW Bush had sensible policies in the first place, there might be fewer people who in the future will vote to increase the disprportionate amount of services they require be it WIC, Criminal Justice, Student Aid, and on, and on.

So is Ron Paul, who kicked off his presidential campaign by announcing he would NOT have ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

“I don’t think it was necessary, no. It absolutely was not necessary,” he said, citing the rules of international law regarding respect for national sovereignty. “I would suggest the way they got Khalid [Sheikh] Mohammed. We went and cooperated with Pakistan. They arrested him, actually, and turned him over to us, and he’s been in prison. Why can’t we work with the government?”

Um, maybe because the government sheltered him? I mean the guy lived next door to a military base for six years, so don’t you think the government knew where he was?

And who says we haven’t cooperated with Pakistan? We’ve given them billions of dollars in aid, we’ve looked the other way at their nuclear weapons program and their international nuclear arms trafficking, we’ve ignored the fact that Taliban fighters killing American troops in Afghanistan are churned out by the tens of thousands in Pakistani madrasses, etc. etc. — how much more cooperative can you get? And they still didn’t give us Osama bin Laden, all they gave us was the finger, so what will more cooperation get us?

As for “sovereignty” — an amorphous concept at best in that particular stretch of South Asia — the Russians routinely bombed Pakistan when they ran Afghanistan, and we’ve been routinely bombing Pakistan ever since we started trying to run Afghanistan 10 years ago, and even Pakistanis regularly bomb Pakistani government buildings and assassinate Pakistani political leaders, so why shouldn’t we go into Pakistan to kidnap or kill a guy who isn’t even a Pakistani? He was a fucking Saudi.*

And this guy wants to be president?

* Well, maybe OBL wasn’t a fucking Saudi. Maybe he was impotent. Hell, I don’t know; if you really want to know ask his wives.

We? You and and Dori? Glad to hear it. You two were made for each other.

Heh. Do whatever the fuck you want. Your kind always does within your means of course.

You can’t do as much as millionaire can and you hate yourself for it (but you don’t know that). If you’re a millionaire you can’t do as much as multi-millionaire and you hate yourself for it. And so on…

Instead you blame those you hate for it – the liberals, the media, Seattle, the guys you fill up van with at the Home Depot, etc. – anyone but yourself.

My my my checksez is a moronic near the Ides of May as he is on the Ides of March

GW Bush wins and institutes ludicrously ineffectual policies. X group of people are diproportionally harmed by ludicrously innefectual policies.

In conclusion, it’s X group of peoples fault for failing to vote for GW Bush.

Nope you dope. Another “useless fact” conjured up in the mind of checksez. Knowledge is available to all who seek it out. We know you’re an idiot because you post with no facts, hence no knowledge!

Maybe, but turning over that logical rock and guess what climbs out. If GW Bush had sensible policies in the first place, there might be fewer people who in the future will vote to increase the disprportionate amount of services they require be it WIC, Criminal Justice, Student Aid, and on, and on.

Ummm wrong again checksez. It’s the DUMMOCRAPTIC leaders who don’t want their “peeps” off of the government dole otherwise their constituency dies, so they only provide enough for basic sustenance and ensure the poor are kept poor. Then the DUMMOCRAPTIC leadership can always say look at what “we’re doing for you”. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

If Dems should celebrate the increased future Dems among exploding minority populations as a result of abstinence only “education” (as you suggest…”what’s ironic about Roger Dumb Rabbits’ commentary, it may be Bush’s ignored policies could produce a baby DUMMOCRAPTS in da future!”) THEN Puddy and his idiot bretheren should praise family planning and even abortion in those communities as a means of keeping their taxes low.

Nuance Puddy. I know, you don’t do it.

But you have two choices. 1. Promote funding for fact based sex ed and fully fund programs to alleviate the societal effects of teen and other unwed pregnancies/children. 2.Admit that your world view is morally bankrupt because it seeks to make sure people don’t know how NOT to be pregnant, don’t terminate pregnancies if they do, and make the resulting children miserable due to the actions of their parents.

This is why Senators Tom Daschle and Ted Kennedy drafted the “non-interference clause” in the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit, which restricts the government from interfering with drug price negotiations in the private sector.

It must really suck to be either married ot an offspring of yours. Lunacy at it’s worst!

THEN Puddy and his idiot bretheren should praise family planning and even abortion in those communities as a means of keeping their taxes low.

What you moronic twit? Why would Puddy support the annihilation of my people? Have you been paying attention. Abortion is rampant in the black community. How many Quincy Jones or Ben Carsons have been annihilated by policies you support? See how RACIST that commentary is? No because nuance isn’t part of your “mindset”.

More mindlessness from checksez

1. Promote funding for fact based sex ed and fully fund programs to alleviate the societal effects of teen and other unwed pregnancies/children. 2.Admit that your world view is morally bankrupt because it seeks to make sure people don’t know how NOT to be pregnant, don’t terminate pregnancies if they do, and make the resulting children miserable due to the actions of their parents.

What is fact based sex ed checksez?

A) Tommy has two mommies? B) Maddy has two daddies?

Or is it Tommy and Maddy have a Mommy and Daddy? You tell me moron!

How not to be pregnant? Don’t stick it in or pack in a sack? Simple as that!

Your simplistic views of the world are the reason 10.538 Million kids have been aborted since the beginning of the Iraq War

Sorry loser. I dont “hate myself” because someone is has more money – I dont really care. Unlike you progressives, who are CONSTANTLY stressing over people who do better than you. Fuck, its all you guys talk about. “the evul rich”…LMFAO. YLB you are such a jealous, pathetic person that I almost feel sorry for you.

I’m happy and doing great…YOURE the one who seems unhappy and pissed about anyone doing better than you.

but hey, you keep on keeping on with that DATUBAYZE! I’m sure it pays well….lol.

The White House released budget figures yesterday indicating that the new Medicare prescription drug benefit will cost more than $1.2 trillion in the coming decade, a much higher price tag than President Bush suggested when he narrowly won passage of the law in late 2003.

ORANGE, Mass. (WWLP) – A civil rights controversy is brewing at an elementary school in the Town of Orange, and it all surrounds an11 year-old’s drawing of the American Flag.

The family of Frankie Girard is claiming that their son’s civil rights were violated after a teacher allegedly told him that hanging his picture of the American flag would offend another student.

So liberals when did it become illegal to express love of your country?

PuddyCommentary: This is what you get when liberalism runs amok. Where is rhp6033 on this? Naah he’s a Cass Sunstein useful idiot! Where is Roger Dumb Rabbit on this? He’s a vietnam verteran like John Effin Kerry. Wait a minute… where is John Effin Kerry on this, the vietnam veteran?

Quick hit on your outrage. It’s a product of your thickness that when someone points out that your “logic” is silly by displaying an equal but analogous form of siad silly logic, Puddy doesn’t recognize the rhetorical device and takes it literally.

Simplistic world view:

How not to be pregnant? Don’t stick it in or pack in a sack? Simple as that!

Simple! And then every unmarried or young person is going to say, “Gee, that sounds great. I don’t need to know about menstruation or fertility or birth control. I’m good.”

That’s the Christian (hey everybody lay off you know I’m speaking of a certain sect of which Puddy is a proud member) version of sex education. A more nuanced approach recognizes that some people, including non-sinning married people who aren’t prepared financially to care for a child without assistance, are going to give in to their urges. But nah, no need to arm those types of people with factual information so the taxpayer doesn’t end up footing the bill for the basic medical and nutritional care of a child.

Top causes of the long-term deficit: Economic downturn and Bush tax cuts

The five main causes of the budget deficit are the economic downturn (tax revenues go down), the Bush tax cuts (which quickly become the largest part of the deficit), the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the stimulus plan (which was necessary because of the Bush economic meltdown), though that becomes meaningless in less than two years, as it’s being phased out.

So for the rest of this decade, the biggest single factor contributing to the deficit are the Bush era tax cuts that the Republicans say are off the table (meaning, they won’t discuss getting rid of them). But just as importantly – guess what? – Obama isn’t responsible for the deficit. The GOP is, along with whoever got us into those wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (oh right, that would be the GOP), and whoever was in charge of the government when the economy tanked (right again, George Bush). Oh, and a little of the deficit was caused by TARP (Bush again).

Notice in the conversation with checksez he skips over part of his commentary that slaps him in his face… and remember he’s nuanced…

So why doesn’t checksez answer his own question — What is fact based sex ed checksez?

A) Tommy has two mommies? B) Maddy has two daddies?

Or is it Tommy and Maddy have a Mommy and Daddy? You tell me moron!

Where is the vaulted checksez answer? NOWHERE to be found from the clown. Why? Because he believes Tommy has two mommies and Maddy has two daddies. Otherwise he’d have a cogent response. Crickets chirping…

Regarding “menstruation or fertility or birth control” where are those free clinics you scream and shout about checksez? You think health education in the school system is gonna prepare someone for their periods? “Hi I’m Jane and I’m bleeding down there. Can you help me?” How about those nocturnal emissions you had growing up checksez? “Hi, I’m checksez and last night my pajamas were all sticky and smelly around my crotch. Something wet and partially crusty was around my crotch. I remember dreaming about Suzy Slutcake and then I woke up to my wet pajamas. Can you help me?”

Did you learn about those in Health Ed in middle school checksez? Well?

Uhh.. Yeah, that’s when the stupid adminstration you voted for twice finally admitted to their lies.

They lied about the cost and of course refused to raise the money to pay for it. Just like their wars and everything else. So your beloved right wing gazillionaires could pay 17 cents on their federal income taxable dollar.

No problem with seniors getting a drug benefit. You obviously agree with kicking the can to future generations to pay for it.

So more evidence of leftist tax evaders. Lots of New Yorkers knew of Steinbrenner’s politics. Most of the Republican money went to Rudy or John MCCain in the 2008 cycle, still less than his DUMMOCRAPTIC largesse yelling loser boy!

Do you actually research your rants? Nope cuz yelling loser boy is a dope!

I’m pretty sure that Obama will win re-election. That should work out fine considering the Republicans will at least hold on to the House and maybe gain a little ground in the Senate. A divided government can do less harm.

Why don’t we just withdraw from the Middle East and all other foreign lands and look out for ourselves? The other countries can take care of themselves because the Islamic terrorists can’t even begin to convert the rest of the world to Islam. If we leave these countries, the Islamic terrorists will just fight among themselves and forget about the “great Satan.” Just forget about these crazies and we’ll be better off.

The problem we have is that our guys and gals are getting killed and maimed for NO GOOD REASON! I’d trade that problem for the future problem of helping our former troops find jobs after we bring them home from those crazy countries over in the Middle East! Let the Middle East police itself. Israel can take care of itself, too!!

One is provable biology and one is a personal judgement. But pretending same sex families don’t exist or that appropriate age children should be shielded from the FACT of their existence ties into the head-in-the-sand Christian worldview.

Puddy. “It doesn’t mater that you destroyed 90% of my post, you failed to address the other 10%! I WIN!” So the scoreboard reads Yankees 9, Mariners 1 but the Ms had a home run while the Yanks kept it in the park. Yankees win in Puddyworld.

Why do you use Jesus’ name in vain moron? Your “asskicking” was an EPIC FAIL!

05/12/2011 at 1:21 pm

62. Puddybud, knowing Roger is a Dumb Rabbit spews:

AMERICAblog is a liberal American blog founded by John Aravosis in April, 2004

So the HA gutter dweller rujax thought he commented something pithy.

Another EPIC FAIL! Stupid is as stupid is!

05/12/2011 at 1:18 pm

@63…ok mister puddyklown…

@62..Here’s where Aravosis…

(who is THIS guy:

John Aravosis (born 27 November 1963) is an American Democratic political consultant, writer, gay activist and blogger. Aravosis, an attorney who lives in Washington, D.C., is the founder of AMERICAblog and a co-founder of StopDrLaura.com.

Aravosis is a lawyer and worked on Capitol Hill as a foreign policy adviser for Ted Stevens, a Republican senator in the late 1980s and early 1990s before becoming a Democrat. He subsequently worked at the World Bank, the Children’s Defense Fund, and then started his own political Internet consulting business in 1997 and AMERICAblog, a liberal news blog dealing in politics (because, according to its masthead, “a great nation deserves the truth”),[1] in 2004. He has also written as a stringer for The Economist and Radar[citation needed]. He has a joint law degree and masters in foreign service from Georgetown,[2] where he studied under former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

In Wonkbook this morning, I pointed out that the $4+ trillion in Bush tax cuts that John Boehner wants extended easily swamps the $2 trillion in spending cuts he wants as ransom to lift the debt ceiling. The math on this is very simple: Cutting one dollar of spending does not reduce the deficit if it’s matched by cutting two dollars of taxes But that’s now how Boehner sees it. Under his budgetary regime, tax cuts are free.

When Boehner took control of the House, he replaced “PAYGO,” where you have to pay for every new dollar of spending or tax cuts, with “CUTGO,” where new where new spending needs to be offset but tax cuts are free. This would’ve been troubling policy at any time. But it’s shocking at this moment, when we’ve spent the past decade getting a tutorial on how tax cuts blow up the deficit.

There’s more MISTER Fuckwit…look to your heart’s delight. Then you can try to prove to the class how ANY of this is wrong.

I’m so glad you’re back. You’re so blindly ideological, mind-numbingly stupid and childishly superstitious that ANYBODY…even ME!…can make you look like an ass.

73 – Nope. It’s in this country’s interest to insure those weapons are secured responsibly and do whatever we can to prevent a war between Pakistan and India.

Nuclear war or terrorism means a debilitating economic headache that this world economy can ill afford.

Isolationism did little for us in the 30’s and was rudely interrupted by Pearl Harbor. Retreating from Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal only brought about the rise of the Taliban and its sponsorship of al Qaeda.

I love when Puddy thinks he has a win that proves how little he looks under the surface.

Pop quiz, what was Steinbrenner’s primary occupation for the final 30 years of his life? Which state was his business located? Which municipality? Where did Steinbrenner need to lobby hard to procure real estate and get a special exemption for existing zoning to build new Yankee stadium? How much taxpayer $$$ did t hold out his hat for to get surface roads and transit so customers could buy his product?

And the big question, which party dominates the State and municipal governments to which Steinbrenner went begging.

In Puddyworld, because Steinbrenner donated more to the party he desperately needed to get things done in New York, that proves Steinbrenner was a lefty.

That’s a good plan if you believe government can do no good in giving us relief from harm caused by renegade capitalists and unregulated free markets. But as a recipient of public education, social security, and medicare I disagree with you.

Perhaps I should also add that I’ve benefitted from veterans benefits, unemployment insurance, public highways, public libraries, public parks, police protection, fire protection, and a host of other government-provided services

Can government do harm? Sure. The Bush administration is a good example, so I would say “of course government can do harm, especially when Republicans run it.” Wtf anyone votes for Republicans is an effin’ mystery. They must be stupid or something.

I don’t understand why libertarians vote for Republicans. They really should be voting for Democrats. True, Democrats aren’t liberatarians, but Republicans spend even more money than Democrats do; and when Democrats spend our money, at least we get some benefit from it, whereas Republicans take our money and blow it up in Iraq or blow it up to Mars. And Democrats don’t do shit like illegally spying on innocent citizens (and lying about it), jailing people without trial, illegally torturing and killing people, and so on.

In Puddyworld, because Steinbrenner donated more to the party he desperately needed to get things done in New York, that proves Steinbrenner was a lefty.

Oh so in checksez world you need to grease the palms of DUMMOCRAPTS otherwise things just won’t get done. Isn’t that called graft and delivering bribes? Butt in checksez world that’s A-OK! You need to get the DUMMOCRAPTIC Machine going and use whatever means necessary.

Puddy goes out and proves political reality. So much for that superficial argument eh moronic one? You see checksez, yelling loser boy throws up Dumb Rabbit pellets (he worships the Dumb Rabbit) hoping he can score some useless political points. EPIC FAIL. So when George Steinbrenner’s prodigy appeared on this thread and yelling loser boy complained about their supposed “tax evasion” he always portends it’s a conservative issue. When Puddy ventures to the correct sites and delivers the real goods on Steinbrenner, you hate it. Oh BTW Steinbrenner been giving to DUMMOCRAPTS since records been kept. You can look it up too if you only had a brain. You spin like a foolish insect in a spider-web, lots of circular movement but no real lateral movement.

Puddy never left dumb as a cinder block rujax… I work for a living and in that work environment I have to disappear from HA to perform my job in certain environments. Idiots like you and yelling loser boy will never understand that since your “clearance” is only wiping your ASS approval.

It was you who delivered Americablog not me. So whenever a leftist pinhead such as yourself decides to go on the attack with something I’ve never heard of I validate it for political correctness. Since we now know

John Aravosis (born 27 November 1963) is an American Democratic political consultant, writer, gay activist and blogger.

my PuddyInstincts were correct about your “entry”.

Using Ezra Klein is too damn funny. Back in early 2009 Ezra was cheer leading the $787 Billion and then the next $410 Billion championed by Obummer’s economic team. And how did that work out for the economy? Average unemployment over 9% for his regime so far? And where is most of that economic team? They scurried back into academia since those academic economic exercises FAILED. So I trust Ezra Klein as much as his Journolist activities allow me to!

In honor of Klynical, I’d like to post Rasmussen which shows Obama has improved tremendously-

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Friday, May 13, 2011

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -12

I love how Puddy likes to drop in half a day later to get in the last word as if he had a point.

Re: Steinbrenner.

Steinbrenner pled guilty to making illegal contributions to President Richard Nixon’s reelection campaign two years prior. He was ultimately fined and briefly suspended from the major leagues. A decade and a half later, he was officially pardoned by President Ronald Reagan — two days before Reagan left office in 1989.

Since 1989, Steinbrenner, along with his wife, Joan, contributed more than $196,300 to federal candidates, parties and committees, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of campaign finance records.

The top recipient of this cash was the Republican Party of Florida, which received $26,000 from the Steinbrenners since 1998.

Ignoramus

@89

If Puddy really doesn’t know that “abstinance only” education is code for not teaching about contracptives and showing discredited links between abortion and cancer then he’s a bigger idiot than I realized.

Sun’s out. Taking the kids on an Argosy cruise. Get out. Enjoy the day.

First off moronic checksez, I was on an airplane flying from one location to another. Second off you moron, I don’t answer to your silliness unless I want to. Third off your “arguments” over sex ed are specious at best.

Since I have family members in public education (but you never seem pay attention to anything credible only left0wing whack off material) schools barely cover any of the “topics” you “identify” in your posts on this thread. Who brought up abstinence education issues except you. Who brought up sex ed? You did. When I asked how does one teach how a baby is made you run away because Maddy has two daddies is just fine for you even though biologically Maddy can’t come from two daddies.

A new Marist College poll shows that 36% of New Yorkers under the age of 30 are planning to leave New York within the next five years – and more than a quarter of all adults are planning to bolt the Empire State.

The New York City suburbs, with their high property values and taxes, are leading the exodus, the poll found.

…ever notice that this paragon of reason and moral rectitude never, ever, EV-ERRRR offers or posits any sort of postive agenda?

Anything he writes is in negative response to something already written.

Dude HAS no ideas of his own…the political party and theocracy he shills for are bereft of ideas, completely corrupt and intellectually bankrupt. Not to mention completely opposed to democracy…clearly preferring some kind of theo-fascist plutocracy.

Chickenshit motherfucker. So you’re afraid to hit those bastards because they might strike back? Damned coward. You’re obviously no Patton. With your mindset America would still be a colony, with dumbfucks like you shivering with fear that the redcoats might retaliate. Go to fucking hell.

@103 For the past Decade, left-wing whackjobs spewed that if we attack terrorists, we will give them incentive to attack us. Now that Obama is Prez, it’s the exact opposite. Obama has all kinds of Bushie folks in his defense group and seems to be doing precisely what Bush would do. Imagine that. I happen to agree with what Obama did in shooting Bin Laden in the back of the head with no trial. Now come the consequences. Appears people like Steve are now willing to accept retaliation. What a flip-flop!

106 – Nope. Barack Obama only did what he said he’d do during his campaign, in his debate with McSame to be exact. If only you right wing idiots would turn down the Ayers/Wright bulloney you would have caught it – not that you would have believed it.

Nothing wrong with taking out crazy people who plot to kill Americans – we just shouldn’t create more terrorists in the process. Iraq did that in spades.

Bush failed to get bin Laden and his words on the subject seemed to indicate that he didn’t care.

A lot of people on the left are claiming that killing bin Laden puts this country into a moral quandary. Like so much of what Obama ends up doing killing bin Laden turns out to be pragmatic. A captured bin Laden leads to a huge incentive for more terrorism, killings, kidnappings, etc. A dead bin Laden leads to a power struggle within al Qaeda and other jihadist groups. Advantage: US.

Why would the owner of the New York Yankees want to curry political favor with long-time legislators from New York who stood virtually no chance of losing re-election? (See @83).

I don’t have a good answer for Murtha, point conceded.

But why would a lefty donate ZERO to the Democratic 2008 presidential campaign, only a small amount to the Democrat seeking the nomination from New York while giving double to the Republican from New York and then only give to the Republican who who won the Nomination?

Puddy has no answer. But he can go back through a long history of donations and try to pretend he has something. Did you find the 2004 donations to Kerry? I found the ones to Bush.

Steinbrenner hired Murtha’s aide to lobby for an earmark benefiting one of Steinbrenner’s shipping companies. So did Steinbrenner stand to make millions by donating to Murtha? You Betcha. Is it sleazy? Ya better believe it (wink). Does a donation prove what Puddy says it does. Oh hell no.

because Steinbrenner donated more to the party he desperately needed to get things done in New York, that proves Steinbrenner was a lefty.

Steinbrenner supported Hillary Clinton for president. She lost. He didn’t support Barack Obama… Imagine that. When Clinton lost he decided to support John McCain. Thems da breaks checksez. And the cards broke saying you’re an idiot.
